"Make-A-Wish Day at Keeneland is about the Thoroughbred industry rallying around these kids," Make-A-Wish Marketing Communications Coordinator Emily Denholm said. "To have such a phenomenal gift like this is just inspiring. It speaks volumes to the courage of our kids, the power of their stories and the power of the wish. This gift is really going to help us grant more wishes. It’s really, really generous to have someone walk up and literally grant several wishes."

Keeneland and local Thoroughbred farms and organizations teamed with Make-A-Wish to grant nine children wishes and give them a VIP experience at the track, including presentation of trophies in the winner’s circle. The partnership continues to help sick children see their dreams become reality.
